Field Photo Checklist

Use when the foreman asks for photos and you need them to actually explain the problem.

You need to send a field condition, damage, mismatch, material problem, access issue, or measurement to someone who is not standing there.

Stop if

• Use this whenever the answer depends on field condition and the decision maker is remote.

Watch out

• Do not send one mystery close-up.
• Do not send blurry photos from a moving lift.
• Do not hide damage or omit location.

Check

• Wide
• Close
• Measurement/reference
• Drawing/detail

Steps

• Take a wide photo, a close photo, and a measurement/reference photo.
• Wide: show room/grid and surrounding trades.
• Close: show the exact problem.
• Measurement: include tape, level, tag, or mark.
• Drawing/detail: include the print if it is a mismatch.
• Message: location + problem + what decision you need.
